LIDL W5 kitchen cream - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Dear All,

LIDL W5 kitchen cream brings up Rexine and Leathercloth absolutely fabulous. Also I use a LIDL own brand bio powder and it brings up chrome and buttons v clean in double quick time.

Any tips for the woodwork though as I am using my wife's Pledge and the results are not impressive? I don't think it has any dreaded silicone in but I am not sure. What works well on the wood?

Cheers

Thanks for the tip Jim.
I have found "Duzzit" products (by 151) , available in "poundshop" and other such establishments to be excellent. I wonder why the major supermarkets don't sell them?
Particularly useful to us, Duzzit wipes(orange or yellow packs---clean just about any non abzorbent surface) and duzzit Oven and cookware cleaner. The latter is a sort of paste one spreads on and rubs, and works very well on all types of metal and even Bakelite.

I have no connection with 151 chemicals, I just think their stuff is really good value.

My wife reckons that Lidl washing powder and dishwasher tablets are far better than most of the other recognised brands; I find the washing powder is great for knobs and other plastic bits.
I don't use Pledge or any sort of similar polish for wood - wax polish is far better. As for rexine or similar, shoe cream or polish, or even Danish Oil applied with a rag.
